I bought a used RV and all but one shelf is missing. They are really expensive to replace but also I feel the design is all wrong for an RV. Rather than have normal shelves, I think they should be shallow trays. So things can't slide off. I have been looking at many ideas from metal organizers to even a dish rack that would fit. I am open for ANY ideas.

You need open wire style containers or shelves, not ones with solid bottoms. The cold comes down from the top. Solid shelves will block the air from circulating and the cold going down. Items under the solid containers or shelves will be warmer and spoil.Bill

Properly sized dish racks should work well. I bungee cord items on my shelves. Adequate air circulation is key.

Any junkyards around with RV. How about rv maintenance shops that have old or useless fridges.

Look at closet wire shelving installed upside down.

I really hated those 2 crispers in the bottom of my Dometic Fridg,to small for anything,when one broke they wanted $43 for a new one.I found a great replacementAlthough it is a Norcold Product,it fits nicely in my Dometic RM 2652, is only $28 and no more folded lettuce :B

If it's one of the very common sizes and brands, stop by a CW on Sunday. There will be a fenced area in the back or side of the building that has a number of dead fridges in it. Take your pick.
